As I'm sure you can imagine, the food in St. Paul was phenomenal. Fresh ingredients, real butter, and the meshing of French and Italian influences made for a culinary heaven.
Our first night in town we found our favorite restaurant (favorite because of the relaxed patio atmosphere, quality food, and charismatic waiter). We were greeted by a petite dish of deliciously marinaded olives, followed by scrumptious and hearty dinners: Perch with (in season) Purple Artichokes, Stuffed Chicken in a Mushroom Sauce, and Eggplant Parmesan with Ham:
Each morning in St. Paul brought forth a cornucopia of deliciousness. To include, but not limited to: Freshly baked croissants, hard rolls, warm homemade breads, cream and butter laden scrambled eggs, cheeses, ripe melon, fried ham, dry cereals, and hot coffee with warmed milk:
You'd think after a breakfeast like that, who needs lunch? Well...we did! On the lunch menu: Red Snapper Niçoise Salad and a Classique Club Sandwich:
And of course, what's a Merritt vacation without the standard picnic-style noshfest?!
Chocolate beignets for dessert:
Along with all of the yummy eats, we also enjoyed some tasty drinks. Champagne was the drink of the trip and we spent many serene evenings on the terrace sipping bubbly and chatting away.

For the foodie grand finale I have to share my favorite dessert, aka the Best Sorbet in the World (cue dramatic music): Pear, Vanilla Bean, and Cassis Sorbet:
We greatly enjoyed eating our way through St. Paul, although now we have some serious work to do at the gym!
